Churros

The Spanish version of fried dough is called a churro and, unlike its ever-delicious fairground counterpart, it is a commonplace treat for breakfast and a snack. Each morning, you can easily find a churrería- a small shop or street vendor that sells churros- by simply following the mouth-watering smell right back to its source. Or you could follow groups of young people, as churros provide the perfect place to cap off a crazy night of Spanish fiesta. You can usually buy the fresh, ridged churros by the half-dozen or dozen, either to eat there or to bring home. Whether you sprinkle them with sugar or dunk them in a steaming cup of hot chocolate, be sure to eat them while they're hot and crispy!
